Martin Kelly: West Brom sign former Liverpool & Crystal Palace defender

West Bromwich Albion have made the deadline day signing of ex-Liverpool defender Martin Kelly following his summer release by Crystal Palace.

Centre-back Kelly, 32, who began his career at full-back and has made 154 Premier League appearances, mostly for Palace, has agreed a two-year contract.

After leaving Palace at the end of last season, he becomes Albion boss Steve Bruce's fifth signing of this window.

He follows John Swift, Jed Wallace, Okay Yokuslu and Brandon Thomas-Asante.

There is also strong speculation that Bruce might sign Fulham midfielder Josh Onomah for a second time, but the Albion boss was content just to get Kelly in the building for now.
